About this map

The Catskill Aqueduct carves its way across the landscape of Orange County, a testament to the engineering required to support a growing region. In the mid-1930s, the terrain is defined by its deep relationship with water and transit, featuring a dense network of reservoirs like Lake Washington and Popolopen Lake, alongside the bustling movements of the Erie RR and West Shore RR. To the east, the West Point Military Reservation dominates the hills overlooking the Hudson River, while the rural interior is dotted with local institutions such as Bethlehem Ch and the Turkeytown Sch. The proximity of industrial and natural features is evident at the Bull Mine near Monroe, situated just north of the expansive Mombasha Lake. This survey captures the county during a period of transition, where small railroad junctions like Vails Gate Junc served as vital links between the Hudson riverfront and the farming communities of Blooming Grove and Hamptonburg.
